Chef Chermaine

Art and craft have always fascinated me, and I have a particular weakness for sweet confections. My journey into baking and cake decoration began as a side hobby during my day job, but it soon became clear where my true passion lay. By 2008, I had completed the full Wilton Cake Decorating Course series and became a Certified Wilton Method Instructor. I also completed advanced courses in cake decorating, including Professional Intensive Techniques at Squires Kitchen in 2013, cake sculpting masterclasses, and a specialized program in royal icing. In addition to cakes, I’ve explored artisan bread baking, earning certificates from masterclasses conducted by notable chefs like Chef William Woo, Chef Francesco Luigi Carusi and Chef Claudio Perrando. From bean-paste flower cakes to traditional Nonya Kueh, my repertoire continues to expand. Baking and cake decoration are hobbies and a calling I gladly continue to pursue and teach today.
